The Most Serene Republic of Hanaga is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Regent Bratislava Quinn with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 23.367 billion Hanagans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eyiel. The average income tax rate is 77.0%.

The all-consuming Hanagan economy, worth a remarkable 2,402 trillion Asaks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 102,823 Asaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Debating the meaning of life is widely viewed as a crucifying experience, tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and citizens spend more time learning about obscure religions than they do working. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanaga's national animal is the black widow spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hanaga is ranked 302,003^rd in the world and 5^th in Roman Byzantine Union for Nicest Citizens, with 0.4 average smiles per day.
